00:18:25.582 --> 00:18:27.628 for two and a half or three weeks, 312 00:18:27.671 --> 00:18:29.934 and made the first European photography 313 00:18:29.978 --> 00:18:31.153 that I had ever done. 314 00:18:33.721 --> 00:18:36.071 Everything I saw was a brand new experience. 315 00:18:36.115 --> 00:18:38.247 [slow music] 316 00:18:42.425 --> 00:18:45.559 And her mother called and said, "You've got to get home as quick as you can, 317 00:18:45.602 --> 00:18:47.909 this is really important, I'm not going to tell you why, 318 00:18:47.952 --> 00:18:49.302 but I just want you here." 319 00:18:50.868 --> 00:18:54.002 I went back to New York and jumped in my truck and drove, 320 00:18:54.045 --> 00:18:56.439 drove virtually nonstop back to Los Angeles. 321 00:18:59.225 --> 00:19:01.966 I found out the day I got there when I saw the doctor. 322 00:19:03.707 --> 00:19:05.231 He said, "I don't know how to tell you this, 323 00:19:05.274 --> 00:19:08.190 but your wife is going to die within six months. 324 00:19:08.234 --> 00:19:11.324 No doctor in the world can save her life, period. 325 00:19:12.325 --> 00:19:15.371 It's going to end with cancer of the spine." 326 00:19:15.415 --> 00:19:17.895 [piano music] 327 00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:25.468 Her father bought a little tiny tract house... 328 00:19:26.513 --> 00:19:29.124 three small bedrooms, I think all house had a 329 00:19:29.168 --> 00:19:31.213 1,000 square feet in it, 330 00:19:31.257 --> 00:19:33.650 three bedrooms and her sister moved in with us, 331 00:19:33.694 --> 00:19:35.783 and took care of her while I was working 332 00:19:35.826 --> 00:19:38.002 as a ditch digger and carpenter. 333 00:19:39.047 --> 00:19:41.832 Banged a lot of nails for him to know houses, 334 00:19:41.876 --> 00:19:43.747 I built frame houses and then I would... 335 00:19:45.227 --> 00:19:47.360 sleep on the floor under her bed... 336 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.190 I'd edit film until she fell asleep. 337 00:19:52.669 --> 00:19:55.106 We would talk about our next trip here. 338 00:19:56.282 --> 00:19:58.109 The next trip to Europe we'll leave the two of us... 339 00:19:59.589 --> 00:20:00.634 we'll go together... 340 00:20:04.725 --> 00:20:06.161 Never happened. 341 00:20:06.205 --> 00:20:08.685 [piano music] 342 00:20:09.991 --> 00:20:14.996 I, I didn't call her parents at 2:30 in the morning 343 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:16.737 because there was nothing they could have done. 344 00:20:17.694 --> 00:20:19.435 So I-- who do you call? 345 00:20:21.307 --> 00:20:23.265 I don't know what to do when somebody dies. 346 00:20:28.966 --> 00:20:32.927 They came and drove away with her, and that's the last time I ever saw her. 347 00:20:35.538 --> 00:20:36.626 She was gone. 348 00:20:46.506 --> 00:20:49.248 [piano music] 349 00:20:53.121 --> 00:20:56.429 I had a brand new son, I had a film career 350 00:20:56.472 --> 00:21:00.824 that I was trying to establish, was not easy. 351 00:21:00.868 --> 00:21:02.391 However I could pour... 352 00:21:03.566 --> 00:21:07.178 all of my emotional annexed into the film, 353 00:21:07.222 --> 00:21:08.615 and do a better job with it. 354 00:21:10.443 --> 00:21:12.662 I would take my anger and my happiness 355 00:21:12.706 --> 00:21:14.534 and put it in the movie. 356 00:21:14.577 --> 00:21:15.970 Keep your mind occupied... 357 00:21:17.058 --> 00:21:19.408 because you can't worry if your mind is busy, 358 00:21:19.452 --> 00:21:22.063 you just shouldered your way through it, 359 00:21:22.106 --> 00:21:24.108 and tried to set it aside 360 00:21:24.152 --> 00:21:25.806 when you're setting at an editing bench. 361 00:21:27.590 --> 00:21:30.941 [Andy] He was unwavering, he was unyielding 362 00:21:30.985 --> 00:21:34.205 in his pursuit of what was his life passion. 363 00:21:35.206 --> 00:21:38.862 As Warren was getting his business off the ground, 364 00:21:38.906 --> 00:21:42.997 the last thing he was thinking about was opening the mail 365 00:21:43.040 --> 00:21:44.912 and depositing checks into 366 00:21:44.955 --> 00:21:48.263 really doing accounting of any kind 367 00:21:48.307 --> 00:21:50.091 and it was only a natural fit 368 00:21:50.134 --> 00:21:53.660 that he hired his mother part time 369 00:21:53.703 --> 00:21:57.490 and then his sister as well to help run his business. 370 00:21:57.533 --> 00:21:59.448 I think he hoped for the best. 371 00:22:00.797 --> 00:22:02.669 [Warren] I figured out very simply 372 00:22:02.712 --> 00:22:05.193 that the whole world works eight hours a day 373 00:22:05.236 --> 00:22:09.328 and the only way you can get ahead of the whole world is to work nine or more. 374 00:22:11.678 --> 00:22:15.595 Back in the day, Warren did everybody's job. 375 00:22:15.638 --> 00:22:20.121 He was the guy who produced the film, shot the film, 376 00:22:20.164 --> 00:22:24.299 edited the film, found the music, narrated the film. 377 00:22:24.343 --> 00:22:25.996 [Kurt] He was a one man band. 378 00:22:27.433 --> 00:22:29.783 He worked all winter to shoot it, all summer to make it, 379 00:22:29.826 --> 00:22:31.175 and then he went on the road, 380 00:22:31.219 --> 00:22:35.789 and my father traveled 250 days a year. 381 00:22:35.832 --> 00:22:38.705 And the last 90 days that is doing a show 382 00:22:39.749 --> 00:22:42.883 every night to a large audience. 383 00:22:42.926 --> 00:22:45.451 All of the excitement and the anticipation in the room 384 00:22:45.494 --> 00:22:47.714 before it, the Warren Miller films about to go on, 385 00:22:47.757 --> 00:22:49.977 it's just-- it's off the chart. 386 00:22:50.020 --> 00:22:52.501 [announcer] Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. 387 00:22:52.545 --> 00:22:55.896 -Ladies and gentlemen, Warren Miller! -[audience cheering] 388 00:22:57.550 --> 00:22:59.856 [Chris] He loved being there, 389 00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:02.685 and he would never break live. 390 00:23:02.729 --> 00:23:04.818 [Warren] It doesn't really matter who's jumping off the cliff. 391 00:23:04.861 --> 00:23:07.255 You kind of look at the mountain and wonder 392 00:23:07.298 --> 00:23:08.909 if his IQ matches his waistline, 393 00:23:08.952 --> 00:23:10.737 -which sometimes it does. -[audience laughing] 394 00:23:11.651 --> 00:23:13.609 [Dan] If you think of Springsteen, 395 00:23:13.653 --> 00:23:16.699 if you think of, you know, some of the great rock stars 396 00:23:16.743 --> 00:23:17.700 and of course Warren Miller, 397 00:23:17.744 --> 00:23:20.311 it's not about a polished voice. 398 00:23:20.355 --> 00:23:23.402 It's about character in the voice, 399 00:23:23.445 --> 00:23:26.927 the voice that brings a depth to what they're doing. 400 00:23:26.970 --> 00:23:28.711 It's not about pitch, you know, 401 00:23:28.755 --> 00:23:32.062 it's not about tone, it's about authenticity. 402 00:23:32.106 --> 00:23:33.847 [Warren] This winter we'll find that perfect snow 403 00:23:33.890 --> 00:23:36.066 on that perfect mountain once again. 404 00:23:36.110 --> 00:23:38.286 We'll really get it together, you and I, 405 00:23:38.329 --> 00:23:40.506 will feel those giggly butterflies in our stomach 406 00:23:40.549 --> 00:23:43.944 when we can look back up that hill and say, "Wow," 407 00:23:43.987 --> 00:23:47.469 I hadn't run only cost $843 and 71 cents. 408 00:23:48.514 --> 00:23:51.430 He has kind of a laid back lackadaisical voice, 409 00:23:51.473 --> 00:23:54.128 which is kind of the epitome of what a Ski Bum is, 410 00:23:54.171 --> 00:23:56.478 is a laid back lackadaisical person. 411 00:23:56.522 --> 00:23:57.958 And so I think that his voice 412 00:23:58.001 --> 00:24:00.351 just really captures the essence of skiing. 413 00:24:00.395 --> 00:24:02.179 I was about 12 years old, 414 00:24:02.223 --> 00:24:05.661 he was in Northern Michigan at Cadillac high school, 415 00:24:05.705 --> 00:24:08.098 I sat down in my seat and I felt like 416 00:24:08.142 --> 00:24:10.971 this guy was talking directly to me. 417 00:24:11.014 --> 00:24:12.799 [Warren] Chances are sometime on the way down, 418 00:24:12.842 --> 00:24:14.757 you'll let out a long loud cry. 419 00:24:14.801 --> 00:24:17.194 That's essentially a cry of love and life. 420 00:24:17.238 --> 00:24:18.674 [Mark] Yeah, his voice really made me 421 00:24:18.718 --> 00:24:22.069 feel comfortable and like at home. 422 00:24:22.112 --> 00:24:26.421 It wasn't like Warren Miller the ski movie narrator guy, 423 00:24:26.465 --> 00:24:29.076 he was the narrator for everything. 424 00:24:30.338 --> 00:24:32.906 [Warren] You should do it too, do it now 425 00:24:32.949 --> 00:24:36.475 because if you don't, it'll be one year older when you do. 426 00:24:36.518 --> 00:24:38.520 [Jonny] But then he would pack everything up, get in his car, 427 00:24:38.564 --> 00:24:42.132 he would drive, he gets to sleep at two in the morning, 428 00:24:42.176 --> 00:24:43.917 wake up and do it all over again. 429 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.268 In order to sell anything, 430 00:24:47.311 --> 00:24:51.228 you almost have to interact with every person one at a time, 431 00:24:51.272 --> 00:24:53.056 to build something that's new 432 00:24:53.100 --> 00:24:55.058 and Warren did that. [laughs] 433 00:24:55.102 --> 00:24:57.887 He literally crisscross the country. 434 00:24:57.931 --> 00:25:01.151 Not that many people skied, people thought you were crazy 435 00:25:01.195 --> 00:25:04.981 if you went out strapped a couple of boards on your feet and slid down the hill. 436 00:25:05.025 --> 00:25:06.243 [Andy] The skiing industry really 437 00:25:06.287 --> 00:25:09.116 took shape after World War II. 438 00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:11.031 Warren was there to capture 439 00:25:11.074 --> 00:25:14.121 the boom in the '50s and '60s. 440 00:25:14.164 --> 00:25:16.079 Skiing was pretty exclusive back then, 441 00:25:16.123 --> 00:25:17.907 it's pretty exclusive today. 442 00:25:17.951 --> 00:25:21.607 And, uh, you know, I have no doubt that his blue collar 443 00:25:21.650 --> 00:25:23.652 way of going about things 444 00:25:23.696 --> 00:25:27.221 made a lot of folks who grew up in the Midwest 445 00:25:27.264 --> 00:25:30.441 and Michigan like I did think, "Hey, we can do this too." 446 00:25:32.487 --> 00:25:35.751 [Warren] The first time I showed in Pasadena, I gave my introductory speech 447 00:25:35.795 --> 00:25:38.232 and all I did was talking about living in the parking lot 448 00:25:38.275 --> 00:25:40.582 and shooting rabbits, so the audience laughed. 449 00:25:40.626 --> 00:25:43.237 And when it was all over, we had had 450 00:25:43.280 --> 00:25:45.979 almost 800 people paid a buck to see the show. 451 00:25:46.022 --> 00:25:49.373 I got my $320 which was in those days, uh, 452 00:25:49.417 --> 00:25:51.332 four weeks pay as a carpenter. 453 00:25:51.375 --> 00:25:54.683 And, uh, I thought that I'd died and gone to heaven. 454 00:25:56.642 --> 00:25:59.296 [Greg] He was the pied piper of skiing. 455 00:25:59.340 --> 00:26:01.864 Now The Beatles didn't invent Rock and Roll, 456 00:26:01.908 --> 00:26:05.215 but the Beatles certainly took it to this other level 457 00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:08.697 where we were all like, "Wow, this is brand new." 458 00:26:08.741 --> 00:26:11.439 Warren was the Beatles of the ski movies. 459 00:26:16.531 --> 00:26:17.880 [interviewer] Is the podium back there? 460 00:26:17.924 --> 00:26:19.882 The podium is here, so... 461 00:26:20.883 --> 00:26:23.364 this podium back here... 462 00:26:23.407 --> 00:26:27.063 um, used to travel around with Warren, 463 00:26:27.107 --> 00:26:33.635 and he would narrate his film was live, uh, using this podium. 464 00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:37.117 Uh, there used to be a light and a mic that would sit up here. 465 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.553 He'd put his script down here 466 00:26:38.597 --> 00:26:40.686 and re-narrate live to the audiences. 467 00:26:40.729 --> 00:26:44.646 So this here is an old, um, reel to reel 468 00:26:44.690 --> 00:26:46.430 that Warren used to take around with him, 469 00:26:46.474 --> 00:26:50.696 and are used to play some of the audio. 470 00:26:50.739 --> 00:26:52.262 I probably open it up... 471 00:26:54.264 --> 00:26:59.966 see, let's see if it has some of the old... 472 00:27:01.141 --> 00:27:04.231 uh, places he used to hold all the old sequences. 473 00:27:06.363 --> 00:27:09.845 [Warren] The longest days I put in were 18, 19 hours. 474 00:27:09.889 --> 00:27:12.500 You got to get a little sleep somewhere, even though it's, uh, 475 00:27:12.543 --> 00:27:14.328 a pillow on the carpet of your office 476 00:27:14.371 --> 00:27:15.503 if you have a carpet. 477 00:27:17.723 --> 00:27:20.508 I didn't know anything else, there's that old saying, 478 00:27:20.551 --> 00:27:24.643 "Nobody never give you nothing, you have to earn it." 479 00:27:27.515 --> 00:27:29.735 [Chris] About a year after Jean passed away, 480 00:27:29.778 --> 00:27:31.650 my father met my mother. 481 00:27:34.435 --> 00:27:36.785 If I was to describe my mother, Dotty, 482 00:27:36.829 --> 00:27:39.875 she, first of all, is beautiful. 483 00:27:41.572 --> 00:27:48.623 Poised, consummate, hostess, my mom loved to ski. 484 00:27:48.667 --> 00:27:52.018 They met at Santanophany when he asked her 485 00:27:52.061 --> 00:27:55.282 to be on a Tandem surf contest with them. 486 00:27:55.325 --> 00:27:56.849 So she was an adventurer too. 487 00:28:00.330 --> 00:28:04.378 They found each other out there not in the city. 488 00:28:04.421 --> 00:28:07.207 [Warren] And all told there was over a hundred photographers there, 489 00:28:07.250 --> 00:28:09.644 one a little partial to is my wife Dotty. 490 00:28:09.688 --> 00:28:11.428 She runs a Bell and Howell camera for me, 491 00:28:11.472 --> 00:28:13.082 helps film these races, 492 00:28:13.126 --> 00:28:15.084 one reason we put this shot of her in, 493 00:28:15.128 --> 00:28:18.218 just to help substantiate our
